About This Tour
Kayaking is a great way to explore, and this area has both islands, tidal beaches and mangroves. We have good sit-inside touring kayaks with rudders, which are rare in Costa Rica. We rent the kayaks for self-supported tours to experienced kayakers. This is quite unique in Costa Rica as most kayak adventures are group tours with guides. We rent the kayaks for a day or multiple days for those that would like to great adventure with camping along the way - or sleep in cabins along the coast. We have 15 years of experience kayaking these waters, and have a huge selection of routes, places to explore and recommendations for where to camp or cabins close to the water. The Gulf of Nicoya is an amazing place to kayak. Mostly it is sheltered from the wind, has near-shore islands within an easy paddle, and a varied bird, fish and animal life. The tidal difference is big here which makes for some nice challenges planning the routes. There is no better way to get close to nature!
